Providing an Enduring Legacy
Innovation, Scholarships, Financial Aid, Campus Sustainability

Gifts made to the endowment are held by the SJR Foundation and remain at SJR in perpetuity. The SJR Foundation was created in 1962 to manage funds endowed to the School for the provision of scholarships and financial aid, maintaining our beautiful campus and supporting ongoing education and classroom enrichment throughout the School. The Foundation ensures the Capital is preserved and earns investment invoice to provide a reliable and sustainable annual allocation to the School.

On average, the Foundation supports 88 academic scholarships and provides life-changing financial aid bursaries to 45 deserving students annually. The School community benefits from the inclusion of a wide diversity of students which financial assistance can help make possible. 

The Campus Renewal endowment supports the ongoing needs of our beautiful campus and preserves buildings and trees for generations to follow.

In addition to funding current needs, support for the Innovation Endowment Fund to enhance our academic programs can also be directed to the SJR Foundation.
